Masculine lunch bags

I bring my lunch to work, but carrying it makes me look like a kid going to preschool. Can you suggest a masculine lunch bag that doesn’t scream "dork"?

You don’t indicate how you are presently carrying lunch. Are you brown-bagging it or carrying a Spider-Man lunchbox? I don’t think the ecutive lunch bag has been invented yet, but you can improvise one. If I were packing a lunch, I’d put it in what I always carry, a compartmentalized messenger bag. L.L.Bean makes something pretty close to the adult lunch bag, the Personal Softpack Cooler, which will keep your food cold (or hot) for hours for only $19.50. There is also the classic metal dome lunchbox, which holds a thermos in the lid. This was standard gear when I schlepped my lunch to the blast-furnace division of Republic Steel—a very adult gig—and it was as masculine as a hard hat.
